MINI-HYDRO

• Potential is represented by :  
  • Great HPP  
    • Dnieprovskiy cascade (3950 MW)
    • Dnistrovskiy cascade (746 MW)
  • Mini-HPP (~ 107 MW)
• Hydropower is 9% of the energy mix of Ukraine, against 15% if the operation was optimal
• Average annual production = 10.8 TWh/year
• Hydropower is mainly used to cover peak charges
• Energetic potential of rivers : > 18 TWh

Distribution of water ressources

Advantages of hydraulics

• Natural and renewable energetic source
• Production practically without CO2 emissions
• Flexibility of the production (point energy) in function of needs
• Pumpage - turbine work : storage and development of the excess energy on the grid (thermal, solar,wind)
• Energy that permits to regulate and to secure the interconnected grid in order to control rivers

Hydro and Green Tariff

• 01.04.01.04.2009 : New law «About Green Tariff» № 575/97-VR favorable for investors with very attractive tariffs favorable for investors with very attractive tariffs of 77,5 Euros/MWh
  
  • The law provides the connection to the grid for the producers of "green" energy
  • The price is guaranteed until 1st of January 2030
  • Indexing of "green" Tariff to the Euro is, thus, no risk of inflation
  • The law provides the obligation to repurchase all the "green" energy produced at the "green" cost
• The Government is actually investigating other possibilities of tax advantages
